"Un Peso" blocks the exit door on a past relationship and throws away the key. J Balvin and Bad Bunny trade verses full of wit and swagger, while Argentinian rock legend Marciano Cantero drops in with his unmistakable voice. Together they paint a picture of someone who has finally shaken off an ex’s spell: “¿Pa’ qué me vas a amar?” Why bother loving me now if I have already said goodbye? The track mixes laid-back reggaetón drums with a hint of rock nostalgia, giving the message a cool, almost nonchalant vibe that says, “I’m over it, and I’m dancing about it.”
The lyrics flip between lighthearted teasing and blunt honesty. The narrator admits he once cried under the moon, but now every memory of that ex is worth un peso—just a single coin. Forgiveness comes easy, resentment never took root, yet there is zero room for a reunion. The song is an anthem of self-respect: learning from heartbreak, standing taller, and knowing your worth. By the final chorus, the listener can almost feel the weight lift off the singer’s shoulders—and maybe their own, too—as the beat carries them into a future where old kisses hold no value. 💔🪙💃
